    As always, the experience was excellent. The food was delicious and worth the price. Our server was very professional and made us feel very special and I love it that the restaurant is open on Sundays!

    This place is super nice. Modern decor with great ambiance. This was my 3rd time there and they provided a consistent level of service. Appetizers were top notch and steaks were perfectly cooked. I will be back again.

    This review has nothing to do with the waiter, but from our experience of being there multiple times, we don’t know what happened yesterday. We started by asking for bread and butter, but the restaurant did not have any. Second, our appetizers. I requested oysters. The waiter returned and stated that they seemed to smell and did not want to serve them to the table, not sure of the quality of the seafood. Onto the main course ordered, the Picaña didn’t seem like a Picaña cut, and they no longer had Brussel sprouts to serve as a side; our experience was pretty discouraging. It reminds me of the prime of what it has become.

    I had the Salmone Entree, it was cooked perfectly and the taste was amazing, it came served on a bed of rice which complimented the meal nicely. I usually opt for the salmon dinner at most restaurants for the nutritional value and in historical comparison this was the best Salmon i have tasted. Additionally, our server was quick and made sure we had everything we needed.

    Todo estuvo muy agusto, solo algunos platillos de la comida no fueron del total agrado. El postre de Guava le falta sabor, el mesero César el comentamos y nos lo cambió el otro estuvo mejor. La música muy agusto a un nivel de ruido correcto.
